Date: March 30
Topic:The Legend of Guccio Gucci
Reflection:
    I am happy to have this chance to do the presentation of Gucci. Without doing this presentation, I wouldn't have know so much about Gucci. In the past, I really don't like Gucci because it's products seem so old fashioned and not suitable for people at the age like me. Last year, Gucci's Gucci Ghost collection really caught my eye. Gucci Ghost is a collaboration collection with a street artist called Trouble Andrew. He makes the old fashioned Gucci collection looks much younger. By the way, I think Knowing what you are buying and why you are buying is so much important than having money to buy something.
